Thinner isn’t always better. A number of studies have【C1】________that normal-weight people are in fact at higher risk of some diseases compared to those who are overweight. And there are health conditions for which being overweight is actually【C2】________. For example, heavier women are less likely to develop calcium deficiency than thin women.【C3】________, among the elderly, being somewhat overweight is often an【C4】________of good health.
Of even greater【C5】________is the fact that obesity turns out to be very difficult to define. It is often defined【C6】________body mass index, or BMI. BMI【C7】________body mass divided by the square of height. An adult with a BMI of 18 to 25 is often considered to be normal weight. Between 25 and 30 is overweight. And over 30 is considered obese. Obesity,【C8】________, can be divided into moderately obese, severely obese, and very severely obese.
While such numerical standards seem【C9】________, they are not. Obesity is probably less a matter of weight than body fat. Some people with a high BMI are in fact extremely fit,【C10】________others with a low BMI may be in poor【C11】________. For example, many collegiate and professional football players【C12】________as obese, though their percentage body fat is low. Conversely, someone with a small frame may have high body fat but a【C13】________BMI.
Today we have an【C14】________to label obesity as a disgrace. The overweight are sometimes【C15】________in the media with their faces covered. Stereotypes【C16】________with obesity include laziness, lack of will power, and lower prospects for success. Teachers, employers, and health professionals have been shown to harbor biases against the obese.【C17】________very young children tend to look down on the overweight, and teasing about body build has long been a problem in schools.
Negative attitudes toward obesity,【C18】________in health concerns, have stimulated a number of anti-obesity【C19】________. My own hospital system has banned sugary drinks from its facilities. Many employers have instituted weight loss and fitness initiatives. Michelle Obama has launched a high-visibility campaign【C20】________childhood obesity, even claiming that it represents our greatest national security threat.
【C18】
选项
A、despised
B、corrected
C、ignored
D、grounded
答案
D
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词的主语线索是Negative attitudes toward obesity(对肥胖的负面态度),动词之后的原文信息为in health concerns(对健康的顾虑),正确选择本动词的关键在于对前后这两者信息之间关系的把握。同时本句子之后出现的信息是have stimulated a number of anti-obesity (激起了反肥胖……),根据这些线索综合分析,最佳答案是D项grounded(基于,建立在……基础上),即“基于对身体健康的顾虑的对肥胖的负面态度”,也就是说“对肥胖的负面态度”是有根源和基础的,这个基础就是肥胖会带来健康风险,这个最为合理。其他选项A项despised(鄙视)、B项corrected(改正)、C项ignored(漠视)均无法在Negative attitudes toward obesity(对肥胖的负面态度)和in health concerns(对健康的顾虑)之间构成有意义的搭配。
